Quebec has the strictest cannabis rules in the country, so if you live here it is worth knowing them before you order. This page covers those rules, delivery across the province, your shipping options and the questions Quebec customers ask most.

Cannabis rules in Quebec

The rules below are a plain-language summary of the provincial rules for adults in Quebec, checked in October 2026. They are not legal advice, and they change – the Government of Quebec (and the SQDC, the province’s legal retailer) is the authority. Federal law applies everywhere too: adults may carry up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or the equivalent) in public, and it is a criminal offence to drive while impaired.

Legal age21 – the highest in Canada, since January 1, 2020
Carrying in publicUp to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent)
Growing at homeNot allowed, even for personal use – upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada in April 2023
Using in publicAmong the strictest rules in Canada, and many municipalities add their own bans – check before consuming outside your home
Legal retailThe SQDC (Société québécoise du cannabis) is the province’s only legal retailer, in stores and online

Delivery times across Quebec

  • Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the greater Montreal area: 2-3 business days
  • Quebec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres: 2-4 business days
  • Saguenay, Rimouski, Gaspesie, Abitibi: 4-6 business days
  • Northern Quebec and remote communities: 5-10 business days

These are typical times after shipping, not guarantees. Winter conditions affect eastern and northern routes most.

Montreal and the regions

Greater Montreal is one of our fastest routes anywhere in Canada. Outside it, the Gaspesie, the North Shore and Abitibi are served reliably but take several days longer, and northern communities depend on air freight. If you live in a building without a concierge, choose a delivery option that suits your schedule: UPS and Purolator require a signature, while Canada Post can leave a notice and hold the parcel at your local post office.

Shipping options to Quebec

You choose the delivery option at checkout. These are the options and prices set in our store:

  • Free Canada Post shipping on orders of $120 or more, with tracking.
  • Express flat rate – $25 by Canada Post, with tracking, for orders under $120.
  • UPS or Purolator flat rate – $40, with tracking. Fastest to major cities; a signature is required on delivery, and these carriers cannot deliver to a PO box.

The carrier’s advertised transit time is for major routes. The regional estimates on this page are what to expect in practice, counted from the day your order ships.

What Quebec customers order most

Edibles are among the most requested categories from Quebec addresses – gummies and chocolates in particular – followed by extracts. On the flower side, hybrid strains and prerolls lead.
